He guides others to a treasure he can never possess.

34

u/MohSad2 2d ago

Well he'll travel to his treasure, it may take a lot of time like n eternity even

u/Rockout2112 3d ago

Some people are so broken that happiness is beyond them!

u/josh183rd 3d ago

If that doesnt describe EMIYA in a nutshell than I don't know what does

u/Dunois721 3d ago

"As someone who's already in too deep, all I can do is warn others not to follow.”- Gudako sometime in the future of that timeline.

u/Spiritual_Horror5778 3d ago

By saving everyone he becomes happy because his issue is wanting to save but is always summoned to kill.

u/WKRZ87 3d ago

Not the he minds tho

u/shufly17 3d ago

all versions are canon. this is canon.

you left out gil though.

u/Barusu-780 3d ago

To be honest, I didn't know what to do with it.

107

u/Classic-Demand3088 3d ago

Needs a final panel of Gil and Archer drinking together on the emiya's rooftop while Shirou screams for help inside 

26

u/Fancy_Occasion_8696 2d ago

And do not forget Cu too!

22

u/shufly17 3d ago

You could have emiya kill him. He would probably know how to bait him into unlimited blade works, and it's easy from there. If Shirou can keep up with him, then emiya could probably get him before he can pull ea.

u/International-Base28 3d ago

If he could do that don't you think he would have done so?

26

u/shufly17 3d ago

No, I think he would kill himself first.

1

u/NmbrBndl 2d ago

No, I think he didn’t do it because he knew he could after he’d accomplished his other goals in ubw

1

u/Lakuzas 18h ago

Shirou managed because he's a human, Gil's pride forced him to only do the very very bare minimum.

He'd have way less limitations against Archer

u/iguanacatgirl 3d ago

EMIYA brings enkidu into this holy grail war somehow.

3

u/Familiar_Chance_9233 2d ago

Give him clay I guess

2

u/Basic-Membership-779 Gilgamesh worshipper 3d ago

Make him my pet. 🫦

18

u/AutumnRi 3d ago

My King of Jobbers will magically find a way to get himself killed, don’t worry.

2

u/Afraid_Pack_4661 3d ago

Can he bring back Kamen Rider crossover movie?

13

u/Medium-Jury-2505 3d ago

Fou came from nowhere and ate him

4

u/eheidk 3d ago

Gil not existing is part of making everyone happy ngl

57

u/Next-Golf3 3d ago

What about Taiga? This is imperative to his mission.

83

u/Gilgamesh107 3d ago

assuming he had full memory he could unironically do most of this

33

u/felswinter Wannabe Hero 3d ago

Archer, fed up with trying to kill himself with another failed time travel gambit, decides to speed run making more Archers

33

u/eheidk 3d ago

The Shinji and censored dih made me lose it lmfao 

Best thing to see at 4AM

27

u/FemRevan64 3d ago

Basically, what if Emiya saw Hollow Ataraxia and decided to do it himself.

15

u/PhoenixSupportsYou 3d ago

There's smth about these posts that always crack me up, I've saved like 3 of them already

11

u/Effective-Cap5167 3d ago

These pics are too funny 😭😭

44

u/ankledane 3d ago

Nah because he still has amnesia and wouldn't think to do most of this

66

u/AutumnRi 3d ago

Wasn’t the amnesia always a lie? Like he didn’t fully remember everything because it had been a long time but he mostly just didn’t want to bother explaining shit to Rin.

That’s why when she introduces herself he says something like “oh right, that was your name”

48

u/ankledane 3d ago

He largely didn't remember most things, I think Saber and Rin would be who he remembered the most. He memory started coming back as the war progressed but he still didn't have a full recollection of everything, which is why what he does in the meme isn't very possible.

I'm probably misremembering something, though.

25

u/GIRose 2d ago

I mean, yeah "Amnesia" is technically a lie but it's short, sweet, and addresses the point that he really doesn't remember jack shit.

"I have been a machine dedicated to killing everything that threatens to wipe out all of humanity for an indeterminable amount of time across all possible realities and the trauma of that has effectively sand blasted everything other than that existence out of my skull." is long, invites questions he doesn't want to/can't answer, and is complicated enough that most people probably wouldn't get it.

u/Spookyplot19975 2d ago

I think that Nasu said in an interview that the only things Archer remembers are the fire at the end of the 4th HGW and summoning Saber (the scene at the beginning of the VN is from his perspective). Those are the only things he actually remembers, all other memories either happened too long ago or didn't leave enough impact to remember. It's like an old man trying to remember things from his childhood, but a lot worse. As he goes through the war he pieces together what little memories he has, but it was probably mostly theories on how things have gone down

Best wingman

u/Living_Thunder two things I love:Illya and swords 3d ago

I love these posts

u/loubcafra125 2d ago

Good thing he can just spawn Bazett

10

u/Basic-Membership-779 Gilgamesh worshipper 3d ago

Don't worry guys. EMIYA made Gilgamesh my pet in that world. 🫦

u/Raziel_626 3d ago

Fate/Stay for dinner, everyone

The bestest and very last route unlocked by receiving all Taiga stamps

2

u/Efficient_Rhubarb_88 3d ago

Depends how off strip he wanted to go

2

u/TheVoid000 2d ago

Isnt that his whole thing. Make the many happy in exchange for not being happy himself.

Shirou: I will become a hero of justice and saved everyone.

Emiya: That's hell you're walking into, kid.

2

u/Wooden-Magician-5899 3d ago

Why no Illya on last page? Or she under Shirou/under camera?

-2

u/LoudGear9028 2d ago

Probably because she looks like a child lmao???

5

u/Living_Thunder two things I love:Illya and swords 2d ago

Height of consent strikes again 💔

1

u/101Aster101 2d ago

I’m pretty sure she’s older than Shirou in Stay Night.

0

u/LoudGear9028 1d ago

Yes but she looks and acts way younger than him

1

u/Guiorno 1d ago

Heaven's Feel disagrees due to her responsibility as an elder sister

1

u/LoudGear9028 1d ago

Yes but 90% of the time she looks, acts, talks, and behaves like a child. An unsettling child who knows more than she lets on and has a bodyguard as big as a house, sure, but still like a child!

1

u/Guiorno 1d ago

Dude, she's singlehandedly one of if not the character that murdered Shirou the most + he literally told Heracles to rape Rin first. The girl is just acting as a kid for the love of the game brub 😭

1

u/101Aster101 1d ago

Holy shit…

u/fuckthisstupidupdate 3d ago

God i love these posts

u/GoatSage777 3d ago

I love Archer

1

u/RindouNekomura 2d ago

This is my new canon to FHA (mostly, except for Bazett and Kirei)

1

u/DobeTM 2d ago

Archer should kill Kirei and replace him with Caren. Then give Touko a call and commission her to clone Shirou's body so Avenger can inhabit it and become Caren's servant.

1

u/Fancy_Occasion_8696 2d ago

Archer if he as Ryan would do The Perfect Run

1

u/Apprehensive-Toe4206 2d ago

Archer if he wasn't hell bent on "suicide"

1

u/Hefty-Bluejay-4924 2d ago

That sixth picture is fucking crazy, but you know I support the notion.

1

u/pr0fess0r_h4k45e 2d ago

I love how it's all just symbols until the word "polygamy???" appears. It perfectly encapsulates true happiness for Shirou Emiya and his harem

1

u/Aizen5580 1d ago

Oh no Archer is still trying to kill his past self, he's just not trying to kill him anymore.

1

u/tressertressert 1d ago

Are we just ignoring the whole Shirou fantasizing about Artoria's sword entering his sheath thing?

1

u/Franks_Hobbies 1d ago

Archer knew enough to make everything turn out well on night one if he wanted to, but by the time he's summoned his goal is pretty clearly temporal suicide, and he's lacking certain knowledge necessary to cover every scenario.
